Money Brain: How Your Subconscious Mind Can Hijack Your Investment Decisions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615891262)

Why don't investors follow the obvious rule of "Buy Low, Sell High"? How can so many investors be wrong at the same time? Why are even experts and professional investors prone to being wrong? The simple answer may be in our heads. In his book, Les Szarka reveals why in stressful times, our subconscious can hijack our investment decisions-leaving us wondering, "What in the world was I thinking"? Using engaging anecdotes, Money Brain walks us through the fascinating world of the investor's subconscious mind, and how we can fall victim to its many traps. Szarka explains how our "duel system" mind can often lead us to make decisions that may feel good at the time, but later prove disastrous. Learning to control the delicate dance between our mind's two conflicting forces, may ultimately determine an individual investor's success or failure. Using his 30-plus years of experience, Szarka offers some simple and effective techniques that investors can immediately put to use to help overcome making impulsive and irrational decisions.
